Although C.W. Osborne’s work, at first glance, appears to be purist photography, the artist utilises digital software to alter and “paint” into the original image, leading us to question the “truth” that we commonly associate with the medium of Photography. MW
Artist Statement: Using contemporary media such as photography and film, I pose a philosophical question of how to relate to the notions of landscape. I’m questioning ‘what is a landscape? ’ and exploring the intentional uncovering of ‘lost landscapes’, recovered and re-traced through Romantic landscape painters such as John Constable and Charles-François Daubigny.
